bwin – the world's biggest online gaming platform

While ESPN only showed two hands that MSalin2 was involved in (both of which he folded on the flop), our young bwin star did get some face time on the most recent WSOP episode broadcast on ESPN.

He spent his entire Day 1 playing with Darvin Moon on the ESPN featured table, getting to witness firsthand some of Moon's "interesting" plays (including checking the absolute nuts in position and getting a one-hand penalty).

Despite the pressure of playing in front of the lights and cameras he more than held his own and survived Day 1 before bowing out about midway through Day 2.

Check out the latest ESPN broadcast of the 2010 WSOP to see MSalin2 mixing it up with Darvin Moon on the feature table.

ESPN is now showing coverage of the 2010 WSOP each Tuesday night, with episodes so far focusing on the $50,000 Player's Championship event that Michael "the Grinder" Mizrachi won, as well as coverage from the Tournament of Champions $1 million freeroll.

That's just the appetizer for the main course, with coverage of the 2010 Main Event starting shortly. Keep your eyes peeled in coming days, as both MSalin2 and Baldomer0 spent time on the featured ESPN players, so hopefully we'll catch a few peeks of bwin players in action in upcoming ESPN episodes.

While there's still the tiny little matter of finishing the final table for the 2010 WSOP Main Event to wrap up in November, the 2010 WSOP is largely in the books, with a total of 57 different events held. A record 72,966 players took part in the 57 events, generating a total prize pool of just over $187 million that went to players skilled and lucky enough to cash in various events.

As far as big stories from the 2010 WSOP, it'll largely be remembered as the year of Michael Mizrachi and Frank Kassela (with the player of the year award coming down to those two players as well, with Mizrachi needing to win the Main Event to tie Kassela for player of the year honors). Mizrachi won the $50,000 Player's Championship event and had a huge Main Event run to reach the final table and reserve a spot in the November 9. Kassela broke through to win two bracelets as well as notching other multiple big cashes.

Below are the full results for all 57 2010 WSOP events, with just the conclusion of the Main Event waiting to be decided:

The world's top poker players always place a lot of stock in winning the Player of the Year award at the WSOP, as it's seen as a true test of skill since it rewards the player with the best overall performance throughout all of the WSOP.

Frank Kassela and John Juanda have been battling for the lead in the latter stages of the 2010 WSOP, with Kassela pulling ahead based on his performance in Event #52 $25,000 NLHE 6 Max event, where he's currently sitting 6th in chips with 16 players remaining. He's already won two bracelets during this year's WSOP and another big finish in Event #52 might just wrap up the Player of the Year title for Kassela.

Harrah's has brought back the $1 million Tournament of Champions freeroll for this year's WSOP, and for the first time opened up many of the 27 seats to voting from poker fans.

While 7 seats were reserved, the remaining 20 players in the Tournament of Champions freeroll (which will be held Sunday, June 27th) were decided by a public online vote, with the only restriction being that a player had to have won a WSOP event in the past to be eligible.

With no further ado, here are the voting results and the full 27 player Tournament of Champions field:
